End of Warranty Service Checklist?

cd4477 · 07-11-2011, 12:44 PM

Hey all,
Haven't posted in a while, hope the summer is going well.

My CPO/Maintenance warranty is up in August. I have a service appointment this Thursday for general maintenance. Is there anything I can/should insist be checked or looked at before my warranty expires? Brake fluid, pads, etc?

Thanks!

I asked for a lot of things before my warranty expired....and I got two.

The most inexpensive ones......

New wipers and cabin air filter...........

Had my last visit today. For a freaking light bulb. This car eats bulbs.

Im going to have to figure out how to do it myself.

Must be a Christmas tree with as many bulbs as it has.

Don't dare to go LED cuz the car will likely catch fire!

Had a 335d loaner today. Non sport. I need antidepressents after not having the sport seats! Reminded my how I don't miss my runflats. Car had 22k on it. Nice car but bumpy bouncing funflats!

nice pedestrian car until you get on it and the growl and performance is great!

MPG is terrific.

Confirms my theory that Sport and manual is a higher priority than the extra speed afforded by either 335d or i. After getting my car back it just felt right again.

Put those on any 335d or i and its a faster car no doubt!

Did my 5 minutes of "should I lease a new one and sell mine?" For me, I put under 10k miles annually so why bother. Lease still runs $500 a month and I doubt I will have 6k a year in repairs! She has 49k miles on it. Had it used for about 18mos now. Nice car!

Very important: get engine noises/ticking etc looked into. If any part is replaced, that repair gets warrantied for another 2 years.

My bumper to bumper warranty is up in a few days. I am going to try to have them replace all of the rubberized trim pieces with the newer plain plastic ones. They already replaced my steering wheel cover and one of the door handle trim pieces for me since they were peeling & bubbling. I wouldn't care either way, but now they don't match.

Also, the backing from my floor mats disintegrated, so I am going to try to get a set of those as well.

Are there any other bits & pieces that I should be looking at?

Thanks!
